Step-by-step explanation:

Japan bombed Pearl Harbor which brought the United States into WW2. Some basic geography shows that Japan is west of the US in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, many Japanese immigrants (most of them were born in the United States) lived on the west coast in California. If Japan launched an invasion, the US was worried they would recruit or use Japanese immigrants as soldiers or spies.
